Chapter 276 The Last Hope
"Brother! Where are you taking me? I'm not a doctor! I can't help you!"
The bald man in the white coat felt helpless. He had just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's den. He just wanted to come to this medical powerhouse to find a better doctor to discuss the structure of the human body. He didn't expect that he would be captured and sold as a doctor before he found a doctor. Now he was captured as a doctor again.
The old man was flying in the sky in Vic's hand. He didn't want Vic to hold him like this, but he didn't dare let Vic let go.
"I'll take you to a warm place. Won't you be cold staying outside all the time?" Vic had quite a bit of respect for this man.
"Are you going to roast me? I'm very old and my meat is sour. It won't taste good if I roast it. Why don't you try someone else?" The old man had a strange train of thought and looked a little scared.
"I eat everything except humans. You are just a bunch of bones and skin without much meat on your body. Even a wolf won't even look at you. Don't worry!"
Vic was also a little speechless. He knew that people in this world had some problems with their brains, but he didn't expect that this old man was also a little abnormal.
"I don't like it when you say that. My body is old and worthless, but my brain is still worth something. My wish has not been fulfilled yet, so I can't die!" The old man has some self-knowledge and still has dreams even at such an old age.
"Okay, I know your dream has not been fulfilled, so why don't you continue to study your dream instead of coming to the Drum Kingdom?" Vic was a little puzzled. This man was also a top figure in this world.
The old man seemed to have accepted his fate and stopped talking to Vic. Vic ignored him and flew in the direction sensed by his observation Haki.
Magnetic Drum Island is not a very big island. Vic didn't fly for long before he landed in front of a big tree whose trunk was glowing. The diameter of the tree was more than ten meters, and the glowing ones were the windows on the trunk. This was a big tree that was hollowed out to make a house.
"Is there a famous doctor living here too?" Vic put the old man down after he landed. After seeing the wooden house, the old man guessed the purpose of Vic's coming here.
"Yes, if even she can't help, then I can only ask the king of this country for help!"
Vic's tone was somewhat helpless. As soon as he arrived on the island, he met so many famous doctors, but not all of them could cure Wendy's life. It was not because their medical skills were not good, but because they did not have the corresponding medicine to treat her. Vic could only try his luck with this old witch who had lived for more than a hundred years.
Vic said this and walked to the door of the tree house and knocked, then took a step back and waited for the owner to open the door. However, after the door was opened, a wrinkled old face looked out and immediately closed the door again without saying a word.
Vic's face was disheveled in the wind, as he had never expected this scene. He knew that Dr. Kuleha's style of doing things was somewhat like that of a pirate, and he might even have been a pirate when he was young. However, he was still puzzled by the fact that he closed the door after just one look, as he had never met him before.
"It seems that this doctor doesn't welcome you! Maybe you scared her." The old man walked to Vic with his hands behind his back and said with a bit of gloating.
Vic ignored the old man's bad taste. Time was urgent and Wendy's life was in danger at any time. He just wanted Dr. Kuleha to give an accurate answer.
Vic walked to the door again and continued knocking. This time he did not step back, but stood in front of the door waiting, but this time the door did not open.
"Dr. Kuleha, I have a critically ill patient here who is dying. I have consulted other doctors before, but they were all helpless. I heard that you are the best doctor on the entire Drum Island, so I have no choice but to come and disturb you!"
Seeing that Dr. Kuleha didn't open the door, Vic could only shout loudly outside the door. If he could use force, Vic would have directly demolished the wooden house.
"Really? No other doctor can cure it?" Vic's shout worked. Dr. Kuleha, wearing double glasses, partially opened the door and looked at Vic and Wendy on his back with a calm face.
"Yes, the doctor said it was the Black Death that had disappeared hundreds of years ago. They have no way to treat it. She has been suffering for several days. If she can't get effective treatment, she will die!" Vic didn't waste any words and directly told Wendy's illness.
"The Black Death! Those guys really have no way to cure it. It's not that their medical skills are bad, but the medicine to cure it is too difficult to prepare. I can indeed cure this disease, but why should I save her? I have no relationship with her."
Dr. Kuleha's words made Vic overjoyed. This old witch really had a way to cure the Black Death, but her pirate-like style really gave Vic a headache. You have lived for so long, is there anything you don't understand?
"I've heard that doctors are compassionate. How can a doctor just watch someone die without helping? Isn't a doctor's ideal to save the dying? Can you really watch a living being die?"
Dr. Kuleha cannot cure Vic and he cannot force her. This kind of thing cannot be forced out. Dr. Kuleha is not an ordinary doctor who is afraid of death. She is a witch-like character. Vic can only appeal to her emotions.
"Yes, sister, saving lives is a doctor's duty. Do you still need to ask why? Why do you need to be paid..."
"Who are you calling sister? I'm still a 124-year-old beautiful girl! If you call me sister again, I'll knock out all your teeth!"
The old man was interrupted by Dr. Kuleha before he could finish his words. If Vic hadn't been blocking the door, Dr. Kuleha's sharp teeth would have almost bitten the old man's bald head.
The old man was so scared that he dared not say a word and quickly hid behind Vic. This old woman is really not easy to mess with. She is over a hundred years old and still calls herself a beautiful girl. She doesn't even look in the mirror to see the wrinkles on her face.
"Dr. Kuleha, what do you want me to do to save people?"
Vic didn't expect that the old witch would have nothing to ask for. It can be foreseen from the original book that she would rob the patients' families after curing them. Of course, that might also be the way she lives. If she doesn't do that, she will not be able to survive.
"I feel a little lonely living here alone. After I cure her, you have to live with me on the island for three years. If you can agree to this condition, I will treat her now."
Dr. Kuleha looked at Vic with a smile on her face, and that look was definitely not just ordinary admiration.
"I'm a navy soldier. I can't stay on the island for a long time. Please change the conditions."
Vic's face looked unhappy, he didn't expect Kuleha to propose such a condition. It was hard to say whether it was to test him or she really liked him.
